Power vault 114X

We've just bought a power vault 114X tape enclosure for running off backups..
I'm quickly starting to think we've made a big mistake, firstly we need a SAS connector to actually connect the device up to anything; that's proving difficult at the moment! and then I'm doubting how we'll actually use it after its connected up.. we didn't buy any software with it; should we have? Can we write to the tapes directly with Windows once its plugged in?

The Dell web site says the software comes with the drives.
Ask them for it if it wasn't included.http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/powervault-114x/pd
